bvibert, was that you taking the fall and ruining the snow? Nice video Greg!

Yes, and that wasn't the only time.... Nor was I the only one to do so, I was just the only one nice enough to do it right in front of the camera..

BTW, there was still plenty of snow left. I didn't ruin nothin!

Yeah and I found it Saturday. Looks like you guys had a great time, real nice considering it's April

Nice vid

You are definitely the video master Greg. Great work. That is fantastic. Just got in from Mt.Snow. Snowed hard all day there today - unbelievable. I'll post galleries of MRG and Sugarbush tomorrow morning. My cable is at work. Still shaking my head over the snow up there Thursday and Friday. Thanks for talking us into MRG!

Yeah, we all took turns with the snowman pose, we just didn't get caught on film! At least we didn't lose any skis or poles, unless you count breaking a pole in half losing it...........

How come the video's no longer available. Oh, MRG was just as sweet on Saturday

I'm sure it was, it hurt to leave.

Nice TR. I'm looking forward to watching the vid when I get to work.

Brian you are an animal. Kudos to you and your driving stamina.

Brian you are an animal. Kudos to you and your driving stamina.

The funny thing is that I usually have trouble staying awake. A few years ago my wife and I did a day trip to K-Mart and nearly didn't make it home because neither of us could stay awake.

My original plan was to stay up there Friday night and leave Saturday morning for home. After the awesome day of skiing and the snow falling at MRG when we left I knew that I'd have too much trouble leaving the area Saturday morning and not going skiing again (had to get home to the family, skiing again wouldn't have gone over too big). I figured I'd start driving home instead and just stop and find a place when I got tired so I wouldn't be tempted. Well I made it all the way home, so it worked out pretty good.

Few places do. You really owe it to yourself to get up there, Pat. Knowing you, you would absolutley love it, especially Fall Line and Paradise. Steep, bumpy, tree islands, multiple routes, random 3-6 foot high ice flows here and there. After my two visits this year, I've skied all the major on map stuff off the Single. Was hoping to try some runs off the double Friday, but they were apparently saving snow for Saturday.

 

[Grassi21]

Great turns and vid guys! I'm looking forward to the day I can ski MRG and enjoy it. Someday....

Wow

What a weekend of fantastic skiing! WOW :smile: I got back from Vermont last night (Monday) at 9:30 after a phenomenal weekend of powder skiing. Friday & Saturday at Mad River Glen, Sunday & Monday at Sugarbush. I don't think it stopped snowing in the MRV the whole weekend until Monday morning. We hit Castlerock in 2-3 feet of fresh powder & great skiing weather Sunday & Monday. The experience at MRG was awesome, as has been reported by Greg, Reefer, Bvibert & others. It was great to ski with all you guys on Friday.

About all I can say is WOW. I did not expect conditions to be this good coming into the weekend. I can say without hesitation that this was the best weekend of skiing this year & maybe the best in many, many years.

I have got to stop coming to alpinezone. It is killing me to read all these reports! I haven't skied in close to a month and have an appointment friday with a nuerosurgeon. Looks like back surgery might be in my future. They determined that I have a ruptured L5 disc. Wish me luck and enjoy all the great conditions! :beer:

Bummer Terry. Best of luck with the back, we'll see you on the slopes next season.
